       trace-cmd-convert - convert trace files

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd convert [OPTIONS] [output-file]

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) convert command converts trace file. It reads the input file and copies the data into an
       output file. The output file may be in different format, depending on the command line arguments. The
       default output is in version 7 and compressed (if compiled with compression support).

OPTIONS

       -i input-file
           By default, trace-cmd convert will read the file trace.dat. But the -i option open up the given
           input-file instead.

       -o out-file

           as the last item on the command line.

       --file-version
           Desired version of the output file. Supported versions are 6 or 7.

       --compression
           Compression of the trace output file, one of these strings can be passed:

               'any'  - auto select the best available compression algorithm

               'none' - do not compress the trace file

               'name' - the name of the desired compression algorithms. Available algorithms can be listed with
               trace-cmd list -c
